Use the showmount command to display the remote NFS server mount information. If you omit the options, the default option displays hostnames of all remote mounts from the hostname NFS server. If you omit the hostname parameter, then the local hostname is used.

The following showmount command displays all remote mounts in the format hostname:directory from the local hostname NFS server.

showmount -a       

showmount -d       

# showmount -a mvshost
mvshost.sanjose.ibm.com:/IBMUSER
usera.sanjose.ibm.com:/USER2       

The following example shows the output from the showmount command using the -d option to display only the directory names of all mounts from the hostname mvshost.

# showmount -d mvshost
/IBMUSER
/USER2       

The following example shows the output from the showmount command with no option specified To only display the hostnames of all remote mounts from the hostname mvshost.

# showmount mvshost
mvshost.sanjose.ibm.com
usera.sanjose.ibm.com       

The following example shows the output from the showmount command using the -e option to display the exported directories from the hostname aix_server1.

USER1:/u/user1:>showmount -e aix_server1
Export list for host aix_server1:
/home/u/guest/test (everyone)
/usr/lpp/info      (everyone)
/tmp               (everyone)       

The following example shows the output from the showmount command using the -e option to display the exported directories from the hostname mvshost. In this case, mvshost has the site attribute set to security(none).

# showmount -e mvshost
No exported file systems for host MVSHOST
